Age of Downtime >(

If you weren't expecting a lot of downtime when the game first launched, I guess you must not play a lot of MMOs.
There's almost always a lot of downtime.
Age of Conan. - Reijin - 05-23-2008
That's kinda expected. All launches are ridden with downtime as there are a lot of things left to implement.
I wouldn't call a game "officially ready" really till 6 mo after launch.

This latest patch is nuts.
What the Hell is Heroic Defense? Why am I getting so many fatalities? I liked it when fatalities only happened every so often.
I do like the new Shield of the Risen, though. Makes it pretty much impossible to spawn-camp.

I was expecting a bit of downtime, but not really 5-6 hours daily.
Just because other MMOs have lots of downtime doesn't mean it should be expected, I'm paying to play the game and when 25% of the time I've paid for the servers are down I'm annoyed.
I totally understand that bugs are going to show up always, hell even WoW has bugs but I can still be annoyed about it.

No. You're not allowed to be annoyed about anything.
Ever!

Woah... so now transforming just randomly changes my head instead of making me bald.

It used to be defense proficiency but I still have no clue what it actually does.

There is no info on what effect most the spells and skills actually do. The tooltips are very ambiguous. I do wish they were like wow and said exactly how much damage it did or damage over time instead of "Shoot a magic missle that hits hard!" on it.
I'm also reading that most of the Necro spells or feats simply just don't actually work. Like you don't get the buff its supposed to give your spells and stuff.
At least they are working on the stuff though.

I'm pretty sure my "Fiery Weapons" feat doesn't actually do anything right now. It doesn't really bother me too much, cause it's a first tier feat that sounds incredibly minor, but I definitely understand the annoyance.
Age of Conan. - Waffuru - 05-24-2008
I know of a few of my feats (Improved Lightning Strike; QQ) that aren't working properly but at least it's known. I understand its low priority versus people getting stuck in zones.
Age of Conan. - Raditzu - 05-24-2008
Dude... game has way not been out long enough to abbreviate feats.
=(
Age of Conan. - Waffuru - 05-24-2008
QQ is the crying face used for "cry more fgt".
Age of Conan. - Raditzu - 05-24-2008
It is? Seriously?
Age of Conan. - Reijin - 05-24-2008
Big slur on the WoW forums mainly that branched off to other things. QQ moar nub l2p. That type of thing. Look at the QQ and you'll see two eyes with tears, aka "Cry more noob, learn to play"
Usually used by ignorant cockbags that are trying to justify being a complete griefing dick and using that as their comeback, ala "oh yeah well you suck!"
Age of Conan. - Raditzu - 05-24-2008
That's... dumb. I can understand T_T or ;_: or ='( but QQ doesn't look like anything.
Age of Conan. - Reijin - 05-24-2008
Quit QQing over it ;-)
(That might be part of why it sticks around, it can be used as a verb and spoken in "pro speak")
Age of Conan. - Belle Hibiki - 05-24-2008
Yeah. The feat descriptions are one of my main issues with the game. It's sort of small, considering the game is fun, and you can figure out (in most cases) what they actually mean after a few tries, but still. It's annoying to see your Wrath counter get up to 10 and have it say "OMG BOOSTS HEALING OF BLOOD FLOW BY 1950%!" when the damn thing heals for... 30. I think they're off a decimal point or something.
